@ClimateDefiance The videos show the thin line between a movement's building "defiance" against the fossil fuel industry/ gov. support & the movement devolving into frenzied chaos where anger & dangerous actions follow.

The situation in #Gaza is desperate. Please let everything possible be done to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe. The possible widening of the conflict is disturbing. Let the weapons be silenced; let the cry for peace be heard from the poor, from the people, from the children!

@edgarrmcgregor To life, Edgar, and to the sycamore saplings that will grow thanks to your #EarthCleanUp and the #ClimateAction of more and more people.

"Farmers in Kenya are using #Solarpower to improve crop yields......
The panels help reduce heat stress, reduce water loss, grow larger crops and cut energy bills......

The solutions are all around us.....let's make sure we use them........

In the 1980s, the US experienced one billion+ dollar extreme weather event every 4 months. Nowadays? There's one every 3 weeks and @YaleClimateComm's latest poll shows this is American's #1 concern when it comes to climate impacts. Source: https://t.co/lrN1IJptJ5

Don't miss Bill McKibben's latest on the substack,
"Energy from Heaven"

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

I've had a like/hate relationship with Twitter, but it feels as if one of those emotions is growing stronger.
So I'm glad that I have a Substack project, free for all to read (and very glad that some people pay the modest, voluntary fee to keep it going)

“Horrific violence has been wreaked over the last 10 days. The situation today in Gaza is catastrophic… Basic humanity needs to be restored in #Gaza.”

@DrChristou sends a message on the Gaza-Israel war.

[MSF International @MSF]

We are horrified by the recent Israeli bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. It is absolutely unacceptable...

Four or Five Republican can literally change the future for America and the world. With so many collapsing into a heap of fear, are the 5 brave ones left? (I’m told there still are). Be a Churchill or resign

My rant:

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The @UN has stocks available of food, water, medical supplies & fuel in Egypt, Jordan, the West Bank & Israel.

They can be dispatched within hours.

To ensure delivery, our staff need to be able to bring these supplies into and throughout Gaza safely, and without impediment.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip must be opened back without delay.

James Hansen sounded the climate alarm in 1988. To this day, emissions are rising. His latest paper announces the era of "accelerated warming". Focusing on the average anomaly of the past 4 months of +0.44°C, he warns:

"If this relative anomaly is maintained through this El Nino (through Northern Hemisphere 2024 spring) the peak 12-month mean global warming will reach +1.6-1.7°C relative to 1880-1920. Decline of global temperature following an El Nino peak is 0.20.3°C. Thus, if this El Nino peak is as high as we project it will be, global temperature will oscillate about the yellow region in Fig. 2. The 1.5°C global warming level will have been reached, for all practical purposes. There will be no need to ruminate for 20 years about whether the 1.5°C level has been reached, as IPCC proposes"
